Marco
is in the snug all by himself having a moment to himself, and Emma
and Michelle watch him from the bed-sit.
Emma starts talking to the television.
Emma - 'Can you stop worrying about what people think? Stop it. And
if you feel that people are being louder than what you think they
usually are, just stop it. Stop it.. stop just... he needs to get up
and go in there.. like lightning.. start jumping about like her
does..'
Michelle - 'chicken..it's not gonna happen.. and who are we to say
what he needs to do, when what he obviously needs to do is have ten
minutes to himself.. let him feel like this for a while, because
that's the way.. he must have to get it out of his system, he thinks
a lot about things and that's gonna be what he has to do, and then
he's gonna be the Marco we know..'
Emma
- 'aww baby (still to the television) give us a smile'
Marco blows his nose, Emma starts to cry.
Michelle - 'he's not crying he's just sorting it out in his head..'
Emma - 'SMILE NOW!! give me a smile..awww I love you.. go on.. go on
baby.. GO ON.. come on baby.... look at his face!!!.. stop THINKING
now.. STOP IT. (Emma leans over and kisses the television) STOP IT
MARCO.. get out there now.. I can't do this thing, I can't do this
thing, I can't give him any advice or nothin.. get your arse out
there now!.. the more you.. the more you lock yourself up there, the
more you're gonna think of things... gimme a smile.. gimme a smile..
gimme a smile'
Michelle picks up a laminate, trying anything to relieve
the monotony of a complete nutter ranting to a plasma screen.
Emma
- 'don't you start crying!.. 'cause I'll start crying. Don't you
start crying Marco for god's sake.. get out there and start enjoying
yourself.. get out there, forget what people think, who cares what
people think. Forget it... yeah? forget it,. don't care what people
think.. just forget it.. LOOK AT ME! forget it.. look at.. YES! just
forget it.. get out there now, get a drink down your neck and start
doing the little bloody mermaid.. Marco.. he's doing me head in...'
Michelle - 'he needs to do this.. he won't do this tomorrow
chicken..'
Emma - 'he'd better not do.. and Nadia as well, he'd better not do'
